I just recently bought (as in a week ago) an AT&T Pure. It's still in perfect condition, but I promptly installed a custom HSPL, Radio, and Rom since I love customization. It's actually a great phone, the tie in with Facebook is amazing as well, but what bothers me is the speed. It lags too much for my tastes (which was one of the reasons I gave my AT&T Xenon to my girlfriend, it lagged too much). I love customization and I know how to work Linux (played with many distros in virtual machines and I have experience deploying Linux based servers).
I have a couple of questions before I buy yet another phone and try to hopefully recover the cost of my AT&T Pure. Does the Nexus One combine Facebook accounts and contacts? Meaning put the Facebook picture as the contact picture, etc.?
Can you put HTC Sense on the phone without unlocking bootloader (rather not invalidate my warranty so quickly)?
I have looked at two backup solutions, MyBackup Pro and Sprite Backup. Which one is better or can you even recommend a much better backup solution?
Can you sync the phone with Outlook backing up contacts and calendar entries?
Is there a field for birthday/anniversary and does those get automatically entered into the calendar?
Is there a calendar widget? An animated weather widget (like the HTC one)?
Can the phone convert into a toaster? Can I use it to travel into the past and kill myself, but survive? Will it tell me the secret to life?
Is there a way of getting root access, without invalidating warranty? Is root access worth it?
If I get the charging dock, when the phone is fully charged, does the dock bypass the battery and provide power straight to the phone, so the battery does not overcharge? The reason for this question is because I want to dock it in the night and essentially use it as an alarm clock to wake me up for work.
Is the phone worth paying over 500$ for when I have the Pure already?
Does it lag at all? Will updates come one after the other as it did before? From what I understand, the Nexus One get it OTA, so we don't have to wait a year to get the update.
Thank you for your time,
Mario Lopez
Yes, you can combine Facebook accounts and contacts - either importing all your facebook contacts onto the device, or merging those entries with the ones already present on your SIM card or with your Google account.
The only option for getting Sense on this phone (if you really really really really really really really want it, for whatever reason) is to flash a custom ROM - which would require unlocking the bootloader, and thus invalidate your warranty.
I think most everyone on this board uses Titanium Backup - it's a very tasty piece of software, but most of the backup options (with any application) will only have full functionality for settings and data if you are rooted - again with a voided warranty.
Supposedly the latest Android 2.2 update allows syncing with Outlook out of the box, and there are third-party apps that I believe will do the same on the 2.1 builds as well. I can't comment for sure as I haven't used these features yet.
I haven't yet encountered a Birthday/Anniversary field in the stock contacts program - could be there, but I don't know.
There is a calendar widget to display your next appointment, and there are weather widgets. As far as the full up Sense animated weather, nothing included in the stock rom has all those pretty touches, but I imagine there are third-party apps that will.
If you leave the phone running some very CPU-intensive tasks, it can indeed turn into a toaster and get quite warm Traveling to the past and killing yourself would interrupt the fabric of the space-time continuum and is therefor discouraged. That said, it's open-source, so you're free to do what you want. The answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything is 42. You don't need a phone to tell you that.
There are no ways to get root access without voiding the warranty. For me, it's worth it.
Can't answer for the charging dock as I haven't used mine yet (lol), but I imagine it would only trickle-charge once the battery is already charged fully. I leave my phone charging overnight when it needs to, and it hasn't combusted yet. To my knowledge.
The phone is worth it if you're looking for a stupid-fast device with lots of community support and quick updates. Keep in mind it's less expensive than an unlocked iPhone
The interface is very quick and snappy. I see occasional lags, but those are few and far between - especially running the leaked test build of Froyo. The NexusOne will get its Android updates straight from Google and a lot faster than anything HTC-branded (where the base code has to be optimized for Sense).
Hope this helps!
Keep in mind, as well: unlocking the bootloader only voids your software warranty...HTC has numerous times done hardware warranty work on rooted phones - a simple search will pull up several results of this, I'm sure.

The language of the waiver you agree to when unlocking the bootloader DOES NOT specify "software only". I just states that your warranty is void if you continue with the unlocking.
HTC *has* been reported to perform warranty work on phones with unlocked bootloaders and obviously defective hardware, but they are not obligated to do so. They would be well within their rights to charge you for any repairs after you knowingly void the warranty.
I wouldn't send an unlocked phone back to HTC unless you're willing to pay for it - they may not make you pay, but it's much better to be prepared to do so.

Overnight shipping applies to after it ships I imagine if you order early in the day, it might ship out that day and get to you the following day. Otherwise, you're probably looking at two days.

Thanks for the quick reply, thanks to you guys, you know have a new Nexus One owner. Now I am selling my AT&T Pure on Craigslist. XD
Now, any suggestions on reading I should do? I've read all the rooting tutorials, it's actually very easy to do, anything else I should read? I am currently in the process of reading the Nexus User Guide.
Lastly, I understand Titanium Backup is the best, but root privileges is needed to fully use it. Does that mean that it can do everything MyBackup Pro and Sprite Backup can do? Because supposedly they can backup quite a bit of stuff. What is the difference?

Most people use titanium because the interface is more useful. Titanium allows you to create more than app back up but the interface displays the versions and not just the date you decided to back up like mybackup pro. I havent used Sprite Backup but both titanium and mbp backup apks+data, system settings and system data. Both have schedulers. What I like about titanium is that it is usually cooked into roms so its easy to jump roms if its installed but its not like its hard to hop onto the market and get it
I'm not terribly familiar with MBP or Sprite, and have only been using Titanium for the past few days. Basically, pretty much any backup program should be able to make backups of most of your applications, but they're generally going to need root privileges to access some of the system data and settings. At least that's how I understand it... could be wrong. It's happened once or twice.
As for reading.... just stick around here lol. Take a look at some of the sticky threads in each of the N1 subforums - lots of good information there.
Glad to have you on board. I've gotten several of my buddies here to purchase N1s as well

It's funny, I never bothered to take a look myself if I can enter it on the phone, I just saw (more than once) Birthday field when looking at the contact of my darling wife.
Now I checked, and you can't change that field from the phone. But the really funny thing is - enter Gmail, load the contact, it has "birthday" field, change the field, and you'll see it on the phone
One more thing - on Froyo there is full integration of Outlook contacts, but they're different from Gmail contacts - they have different fields and different options. I was quite surprised to see it (it's shown easily - Gmail supports multiple mobile numbers under the same category "mobile", Outlook doesn't, so when you try to enter multiple mobile phones to Outlook contact - you discover that it can't be done). Maybe in this respect it's also different - Outlook-derived contacts might allow editing Birthday while Google contacts don't (not from the phone).
And since I'm running Eclair (CM5.0.7.1), I'm not sure what's going on with Gmail contacts on Froyo.
That's for seeing birthdays on calendar:
http://www.nicholasoverstreet.com/2010/03/android-contacts-birthdays-in-your-calendar/
what the heck are you talking about?
he asked where to put in the birthdays @ stock contacts app... we all know there is a birthday calendar...
you can only add the birthday @ contacts.google.com, unfortunately not in the contacts app
Maybe I don't read well, and maybe I do. Read this quote:

Well, there IS a field, in stock contact app. You can't enter anything there from the phone - oh well, that's the situation (today, and tomorrow it might be fixed, and I didn't even check for market apps that might already do it). You can make it appear automatically in the calendar, too - link above. Now, what the heck was I writing here? Answering his question, most probably. You want a screenshot of a birthday showing up in stock contact app when viewing a contact? I thought it's trivial to try.
and read this quote , your reply to this quote was "yes there is one"

That could be a little annoying, I wonder, does that mean if I have a contact John Doe, and I have him in Outlook and GMail, he will appear twice? Maybe I just will not sync with Outlook but the thought of having to type in my 100+ contact list with multiple numbers, emails, etc. make me shudder....

Yes, I see your point. That option, unfortunately, is missing (what would be the reason for it - escapes me, really, they already have a field and it syncs, it's VERY weird that it can't be edited).

If I remember right from playing with Froyo, it also merges contacts based on name, and you'll see one contact with data from both places. If you'll try to edit, though - you'll have to choose, what contact to edit.
You also have options to import contacts from Outlook to Gmail, or to have them sync-ed between Outlook and Gmail by some free SW (one of the pre-Froyo solutions for Outlook contacts).

Yup. The phone will bring in contacts from all your synced accounts (google, facebook, outlook, twitter, whatever) and merge them based on name. You can then manually correlate any contacts that didn't do it automatically ([email protected] is also Jane Doe).
New to android and captivate, so excuse me if I'm missing something..but it seems that with one's google account being tied into all the functions, including buying in the market with the credit card on file with google..there has to be a setting to not allow the device to be used with a different sim..or some kind of security that will lock down your google account if the phone is stolen? Is something built in..or is there an app out there that people generally use for peace of mind?
EDIT: All of the recent Nokia phones I've had has a setting to not allow a different sim to be used

Very interesting. I too would like to know the answer. This is one of the many reasons why I NEVER use:
A) Mobile Banking
B) Purchases of any kind that includes Plastic
C) Setup any accounts that wire account info
Call me paranoid, but hey, it will save you a ton of headache on that unfortunate "if" day. Please keep us posted.
So does anybody have an answer...or at least some kind of marketplace app that is used for security?
So is nobody interested in security? Or is there just no simple solution..one thing that I miss on my Nokia N97 is the remote lock..send a text of a secret word, and poof the device is locked...done
I think people are interested to some degree but no widely known easy method. And just an fyi, rooting your phone and gaining superuser privileges - as many of us have done - creates a big security hole for trogin malware attack, so if you have rooted your phone take care and know what your installing and try to pay attention to anything using super user privileges.
Why are business cards not supported by the galaxy note.. Cuz most of my clients and friends use Nokia phones and I really need that functionality.
people have started making fun of my phone cuz it does not even acknowledge receiving a simple v card. And I have to ask them specifically not to send a contact as a business card..
Are business cards propritary of Nokia or is there some other reason. Now don't give me answers like its not supported because its an outdated method of sharing contacts
At least the phone should acknowledge something right. I don't get any notification if someone sends a bcard.

I have another problem but also about Note VCard, that Note send the Vcard as mms and not everyone can receive mms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542049
so is there any recommended app from that list to send and receive Vcards?
I've seen problems with vcards of all sorts when going from brand to brand and OS to OS. It's very common. Try receiving an Iphone one on another device to see the trouble.
Manufacturers seem to love to tweak the formatting of them just enough to make them unrecognisable to other manufacturers etc.
Most manufacturers don't see it as being of great importance, since the vcard has basically been superseded by the advent of the better and more flexible text messaging systems these days. Why use an out dated vcard when you can send a person's full business card in a easy read universal text format that android will automatically format into fields for U?
They can laugh, but it's them using antique methods that is funny.
To get around this, there may be a vcard app in the market, or you could try the excellent GoSMS Pro, which might handle it, but good luck, the old system often does cause problems.
Next time they laugh, hold on a contact on your device, press share, send them a contact by sms and see if they really think yours is the problem.
get a file browsing app for your phone, navigate to the vcard file, and try launching it. you should get the option to open it with 'contacts' or similar app.
let me know how you go.

yep, that's where they go when my g/f sends me vcards from her sgs2.
don't know how it's going to work if they're being sent from a nokia, but usually they're just attachments to an mms.
This problem occurred to me today and before started posting here, I've found out that it's actually received as MMS?!?!
So in order for you to get the business card, you will have to goto your message, click on the XXXXX.vcf > Menu button > Attached Items > Select XXXXX.vcf > Save.
Then it automatically save it to your /mnt/sdcard/download.
Go there click on the XXXXX.vcf file and it will ask you where to save it...
Althou it works, but it sure takes lots of steps...
vcard issues with QR codes
I generally share contact information using barcode scanner's QR code. But the Note's contacts for addresses seems to completely screw them - my address ends up littered with semi-colons?
The other thing is that it doesn't add the contact information automatically the way my HTC Desire did, instead it just takes you to the contact's app and then you have to click add. Weird and typically bad user interface design from Samsung.
Shame this, as it's far and away the easiest way to share a contact's details with someone.
CRAP >_<
why dont ppl use sharaing via barcode or other beautiful options
there are many ways of sharing contacts
have you guys tried sending contacts through bluetooth? i always use this option and it's working for me.
just wondering?
yeah!! It works
or just exporting to memory card and importing is pretty awesome
Guys Iam not talking about scanning business cards. Nokia calls theirs contacts business cards..what I am saying is that apparently Samsung does not recognize a contact number sent from Nokia address book via the network.
the damn phone should atleast notify me that it has received some jumbled up crap from a Nokia phone via the network..
Ps-apparently sharing Nokia contacts aka business cards,via Bluetooth works but its limited by distance
I am running stock GB 2.3.6 and I can recieve .vcf cards from Iphones, and other andriod devices, but not WP/WM devices...
The "damn" phone as you put it simply does not recognise the "crap" from a Nokia phone and so cannot identify if it is correct or garbage..
Given their is no universal standard formatting of contacts, Being sarcastic about the Note and blaming Samsung for inter device incompatability is quite rediculous, however given you feel so strong, feel free to sell your Note and buy a Nokia phone.

I love my note...I absolutely adore it, but am annoyed that it doesn't show any indication of receiving the business card at all.
Is there an app that can workaround this problem ?
Given that Nokia is such a big player in the mobile phone business is it so hard for Samsung techs to write a few lines of code to recognise a bcard ?
I have a lot of clients who uses Nokia phones and I can't ask all of them to get new phones now can I ?
Now if someone's sending a contact info I have to specifically ask them not to send as business card and that irritates the hell out of me cuz then I have waste my time explaining about compatibility issues.
I guess I have to live with it for now.... in a few years there won't be any symbian devices left and we'll all be one big Android family with no comparability issues.
Oh and mystic38 , save that energy to tear into an I phone fanboi will ye ?

Hello,
With my former employer I had a phone that I used my Samsung account with, problem is that Samsung account is registered with the work phone number I had at the time, so I can no longer login to my account because of 2 factor authentification being enforced onto my account (without my consent).
To regain access to my Samsung account I need to have the phone's Serial Number, how can I get it? I don't have anything left from the phone, but I used it regularly with Google Account, Windows, "Your Phone" app, etc....
Can I get it through Windows registry, logs or some online webservice?
Regards,
Where it was bought... especially if it's was a carrier phone.
It was bought by the company which I no longer have contact with.
That's not data normally shared. I'm not a fan of most multitiered security as it always causes me problems.
Doesn't it show you a serial number in the phone information?
Otherwise try this app once. The serial number is also displayed under the Personal tab...

I was gonna suggest yesterday that she bites the bullet and just rings her old employers and explains she's spent lots of money thru the account.
they'd probably say the phone has been scrapped by now, in that case back to Samsung and look for a contact us link.
she can't be the first person to face this scenario since they brought in 2FA. if she still has an email account attached that's something.
